Why is the trend so effective?
Because social media presents the result out of context. You see the photo, but you don't see the facial anatomy, the starting point, the light, the filter, and sometimes even the real result.
Despite this, the mind quickly concludes: It could look like this on me too. However, in aesthetics, the riskiest thought is to assume all faces are the same.
How to establish a mental filter?
When you see a trend, you should first ask these questions: Do I need this on my face? Does this trend enhance my proportions, or is it trying to copy another face? Will it still look right five years from now?
These questions often don't diminish enthusiasm; they make it more mature.
- What is the source of the trend?
- Does it have meaning on my face?
- Does it preserve naturalness?
- Does it carry a risk of permanent regret?
Short formula:Not everything that is trendy is aesthetic; and not everything that is aesthetic has to be trendy.
Why does the brand line diverge here?
A mature clinical approach evaluates the motivation behind the patient's request without belittling it. If necessary, it clearly explains why the trend is not suitable.
This produces brand quality, not loss of sales.
